With dates on GTO and Blue Sub 6 now up, that means the only previously announced title still up in the air is Tenjho Tenge.

Hopefully we'll be seeing it sometime before the end of the year.

As an Oshii fan and as an avid explorer of anime's past, I'm on board for Dallos. Heard nothing but bad things about it, but I figure it's worth a watch.

There's no release date for Thermae Romae either right?

My timing is funny, I happened to just watch Dallos recently. It's not really totally terrible or anything, just...very dry, and its particular sci-fi take isn't original enough to be particularly interesting*. And it's probably an episode too long.

It's great that it'll finally be easily available, either way.

*Has Red Spectacled Cyborg Death Dogs, though. Worth seeing that much.

Lily C.A.T. is legit entertainment. Watch it dubbed. They knew what they were doing there. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Good news on the CCS movie, I recommend the whole series to anyone who hasn't watched it yet.

Confused on the Jin-Roh release. Didn't Viz have dual ownership on that license with another company? Did their license expire or something?

While I haven't seen the Devilman TV series, I do understand it is missing something important that's found in the original manga...all the good stuff. Laughing

Sounds like Discotek is testing the waters for CCS. Awesome news indeed Smile


Sure hope so! Of course, it happens RIGHT when I buy the second movie just last week :p Ah well, I'll double dip for both, assuming that gets licensed too.

Time to show some CCS support!! After the Legendary Ninja Cats, Monster Farm, and now CCS, I'm REALLY starting to love Discotek!!

I hope Devil Man tv show is good after watching Bennett the sage's review of Devil Man ova and being remind how meh that was. Card Captors Sakura is a fav and mine. Hoping leads to maybe tv series re license. Jin-Roh I wasn't a fan of but I been meaning to go back and rewatch. I could have sworn I read that Dallos was released on tape here in the us. Looking it up it looks like it was but never the uncut all four episodes were really. I could be wrong.
Also looking forward to finally have complete GTO on dvd. I missed it before and been trying to track down volumes here and there.

Those are some good grabs for distribution, I'm most interested in the Dallos release cause it's the first OVA of all time. I would love to see Discotek license another Lupin title some time soon, but beggers can't be choosers I guess.

Discotec my favourite Anime licensing company in the US strikes again awesome line up keep it up i sure hope they will never go down... there the only ones that understand the people want this kind of stuff and not like rightstuff with ther obsession with old crapy english dubs that are edited worst of all.

Can't wait to get Jin-Roh. As much as I'm amazed at how many licences Sentai can pick up, what is even harder for me to believe is how Discotek is doing so well.

The Australian distributor Madman has CCS series + first movie at the moment, but as it's DVD only I'm not interested. This release, however, I'm very interested in. If they follow with the series and other movie that'll be great.

I shall get CCS 1st Movie in hope to get TV series and 2nd Movie, and could double-dip Blue Submarine No.6.

Blue Submarine No.6 from Bandai's has horrible subtitling placement (iirc, it's on 4th episode?), so I hope that Discotek could fix that. Yes, I'm deaf, so to speak.
